Thread Approved
The bike is looking good. I don\'t like the sheet covering the engine, appears flimsy and cheap in the pics at least. Same with the \'cap\' covering the headlight. But good job guys and you built three motorcycles in 20 days! Wow...Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

Brilliant! Superb rebuilt on a classic. Looks retro.
Why don\'t you change the name of your bike to \'Iconic\'?A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

Re: YAMAHA RX 135 CAFE RACER - IRONic
Agree about the \'cap\', but it had to be there.. about the fairing, its in brush metal finish, you will like it if you see it in reality, gives a very raw character to the bike. and no we did not finish 3 bikes, this particular bike took 3 days.
Thanks for the feedbacksigpic4 wheels move the body,

This one bike was done in about 20 days with us working mostly on the weekends.
IRONic is not the name of the bike, its what we call ourselves. Considering one of us cant ride a bike and the other is 65 years old.
The fairing is made from 18 gauge aluminum and looks more solid in person. To be honest, the headlight cowl is a hit and miss for us too, but we wanted to contribute something new to the custom scene.
Will be glad to answer any more questions.
Props to our friend Kishor Krishnamoorthi for the great photos.

Re: YAMAHA RX 135 CAFE RACER - IRONic
Good job!
I like the overall stance and the proportions. But feel like could have done more on the engine cowl. Feels thin, may be because of the sharp edges.1987 RE 350, 1998 Suzuki Shaolin, 2013 Duke, 2017 Psynyde FuranComment

Great build!!
Somehow I like the headlight visor very much and engine cover also look decent. :thumbup:

Re: YAMAHA RX 135 CAFE RACER - IRONic
Good job guys.
Can you post more snaps, especially the right side of the bike? I'm more interested to know how did you managed with the rear brake pedals (since I'm working on a similar project, these inputs should help me to some extent)
